Just as excitement was mounting over their latest European adventure getting underway, the weather put a huge dampening on things.

Fans were running for cover before the game as heavy rain lashed it down in the capital.

But even once they were inside the stadium they were still caught up in the eye of the storm.

West Ham fans shared clips of the conditions on social media.

And one video revealed that the torrential rain had caused one of the concourses to flood.

Luckily, David Moyes’ side were still able to get their Euro campaign up-and-running as the downpour eased off in the lead-up to the 8pm start.

But as more and more footage from the London Stadium went viral, supporters back in the warmth of their own homes soon took to Twitter to make fun of the situation.

“A new waterfall feature,” responded one to footage of water pouring into the concourse.
